¶ Project Zomboid: How to add map mods
Step 1: Find the mod ID, workshop ID, and map folder
- Find the mod you would like to add on the Steam workshop. In this example, we will be using “Fort Redstone” which is a popular addition to the vanilla map.
- Next to the mod ID and workshop IDs you will see a new field called Map Folder. We will be using this name for the next steps.
*Note: Some map mods may have multiple map folders and mod IDs. Read their descriptions to find out if you need them or not.
Step 2: Configure the IDs and map folder name on the server
- Add the mod ID and workshop ID as a normal mod. If you don't know how to do this, follow our adding mods tutorial.
- On the indifferent broccoli Project Zomboid control panel, navigate to the Advanced Game Settings.
- Find the line that says Map=
- Add the map folder name here. Example:
Map=FortRedstone;Muldraugh, KY - Notice the Map= line ends with Muldraugh, KY, which must always be at the end of the map load order.
Step 3: Adding Spawnpoints
- Some map mods give the option to add their location as a spawnpoint in addition to the vanilla ones.
- In the File Manager, navigate to
/server-data/Server/pzserver_spawnregions.luaIf this file is not there, create it.
3. Paste this code into the file if it is not already there:
function SpawnRegions()
return {
{ name = "Muldraugh, KY", file = "media/maps/Muldraugh, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
{ name = "Riverside, KY", file = "media/maps/Riverside, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
{ name = "Rosewood, KY", file = "media/maps/Rosewood, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
{ name = "West Point, KY", file = "media/maps/West Point, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
}
end4. Add your map folder to this file. For Fort Redstone, it would look like:
function SpawnRegions()
return {
{ name = "Muldraugh, KY", file = "media/maps/Muldraugh, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
{ name = "Riverside, KY", file = "media/maps/Riverside, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
{ name = "Rosewood, KY", file = "media/maps/Rosewood, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
{ name = "West Point, KY", file = "media/maps/West Point, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
{ name = "FortRedstone", file = "media/maps/FortRedstone/spawnpoints.lua" },
}
end5. Navigate to the Advanced Game Settings. Add this line to the bottom of the field if it is not already there: SpawnRegions=pzserver_spawnregions.lua
6. Soft reset your world. Your map mods will be generated if you followed these steps correctly.
